Yes, my thanks too.  But I disagree with trashing the kid.  He did nothing
more than walk in the front door of you house and let all the hot air out.

The worm did nothing except scare the shit out of a lot of
people.  What if it had done something *BAD*?  I know, we don't know 
yet...  But it could have shut the country down!  We should panic, yes!
And get our security up to snuff.  "Would the Russians have been so 
nice?"  I betcha they knew how to do this one for a while.  So while you
are all panicing over a *NULL* statement,  give some thought to what
would have really happened if there had been some venom to the bite.

I for one, would probably hire the kid.  He shows innovation and I don't
see much of that anymore.
